Ferrari Enzo & Michael Schumacher

The Enzo Ferrari is a 12 cylinder mid-engine berlinetta named after the company's founder, Enzo Ferrari. When introduced in 2002 it was one of the most powerful naturally aspirated production cars. The Enzo used Formula One technology, such as a carbon-fibre body, F1-style sequential shift transmission, and Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite disc brakes. Also used were technologies not allowed in F1 such as active aerodynamics and traction control. After a downforce of 775 kg (1,709 lb) is reached at 348.8 km/h (217 mph) the rear wing is actuated by computer to maintain that downforce. The Enzo's V12 engine was the first of a new generation for Ferrari. It was based on the architecture of the V8 found in sister-company Maserati's Quattroporte, using the same basic architecture and 104 mm (4.1 in) bore spacing. This design replaced the former architectures seen in V12 and V8 engines used in most other contemporary Ferraris. The 2005 F430 was the second Ferrari to get a version of this new power plant. In 2004, Sports Car International named the Enzo Ferrari number three on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 2000s. Motor Trend Classic named the Enzo as number four in their list of the ten «Greatest Ferraris of all time».
